The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

5:00 am

Have the deck light on

offering subdued lighting

2 my night-light-lit kitchen

illuminating what’s left

of The Scraggly Apple

the deck rail

& trio of XMiss Star

prism decanter stop

& little moulded hot-air balloon

dangling from M(eye) Eastern Window

glinting w drops of drizzle
